BAD FOR THE SECTION MEN.

An Inter Ocean special from Forest, H.,
says: "A number of men at Piper City
positively contradict the testimony of
Timothy Coughlan, the section boss, that
he and his gang put out all the fires along
the track before they left their
work and proceeded to Chatsworth
wednesday evening. These men
We're of a party which went
from Piper City to the wreck on hand
car as soon as they heard of the accident.
They arrived about an hour after the event.
They say that as they passed along the
track east of the wreck they saw fire
burning in the grass and hedges all along
the way. The best evidence ootainable is
that the fire built by the section hands was
within 100 rods of the burned bridge when
1t was left. There is general sentiment
among the residents here that the section
men were largely to blame. Very
few people except the officials
OF the railroad give any credence to
the incendiary theory The ficialsnaturally
desire to shift the liability. There was not
nearly as much robbing at the wreck as
some reports indicate. The watches and
rings thought to have been stolen are be-
ing found among the debris as it is cleared

USURIOUS CHARGES.
Judge Speer Renders a Decision In
Volving Loan Companies.

Judge Speer Renders a Decision In
volving Loan Companies.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Hon Emory
Speer presiding in the United States Cir
cult Court for the Southern district of
Georgia, who has been in this city for some
weeks, to-day rendered decision in the case
of Sherwood VS.. Rountree, involving the
validity of contracts of money loans on land
made by loan companies. He held that the
practice of these companies of withholding
from Is to 20 per cent. of the amount
loaned under the device of commissions for
negotiating the loan, was usurious and lille
gal, and that where the money lender who
dealt through companies was shown to have
carried on a settled business, where these
eXorbitant and extravagant rates in addi
tion to the regular interest were charged,
he was presumed to understand the nature
of the contracts loan companies were
making, and that in the absence of
satisfactory proof to rebut this presump-
tion he could recover only the amount re-
ceived by the borrower and legal interest
and not commissions, which are included in
the amount stated in the note or mortgage
The verdict had been rendered in Georgia
upon this basis The Loan Company had
moved for a new trial. The decision to-day
overruled that motion. The decision
is distinguished from the leading
case of Cali vs. Palmer, 116 U. S., where
there was but single loan and when proof
was clear that the lender knew nothing of
the usurious commissions charged and did
not authorize them.
This is the first decision upon this precise
question in the United States Courts, and it
is thought to have an important bearing, par
ticularly in the South and West, where
these contracts are numerous,

of the Dayton and Chicago bonds,

after the issue had been rascinded by the

of the creditors that these bonds ought not

Mr.. Ives and his friends is to get all of these
irregularly issued securities back into the

particulars about the seizure of guns yes

which have been felt since the departure
of Andy and Willie Tolliyer and their
friends, received fresh impetus yesterday
afternoon when Adjt. Williams with a
squad Of men filed into the depot and seized
a case Of rifles and 1000 rounds Of ammuni
tion that had just been taken off q train
and hurried them into camp. These are the
same guns that were shipped to u. T.
Young, Mount Sterling, from Lexington
some weeks ago. Maj Mckee fearing a
collision between the factions Immediately
sent out half dozen squads Of
men searching suspected houses for arms.
and must have captured several wagon
loads In one house alone they secured ten
Winchester rifles, three shotguns, two mus
kets aud several muz2e-loading rifles. The
raid created quite stir in the town, and It
is the general belief that If Maj Mckee

tor Stanford to Answer
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug: 13-The Pacific
Railroad Commission today filed petition
in the United States Circuit Court asking
that an order be issued requiring Leland Stan
ford to show cause why he should not be
compelled to answer certain questions asked
him on Wednesday in regard to the dis
position made by him of certain moneys
charged to the general and total expense
account of the Central Pacific Company,
represented by vouchers produced and
shown to him which vouchers
did not show the disposition
of the money, or to whom it was paid by
him. The petition also recites that the
amount of such moneys expended between
1870 and 1880 aggregated 1874, 900 and that
Mr. Stanford declines TO answer questions as
to whom he paid the moneys, or whether any
part was paid for the purpose of influencing
legislation. 1t is thought the petition will
be taken up for argument August 22 II is
stated that the total amount of the vouch-
ers unaccounted for aggregate about
81, 100000, but the Commission has not set
forth the full amotnt upon which Mr.. Stan
ford was questioned particularly.
